Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. It involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. This painless treatment relieves toothache, preserves your natural tooth, and restores normal function.
Root canal treatment addresses infections or damage in the tooth pulp while preserving the natural tooth structure. At Healthlux Dental, Dr. Bhagyashri Dhake, a trusted Root Canal Specialist in Baner, carefully evaluates each case to restore oral health, function, and comfort.
